Just having a bit of a freak out moment. I seem to be having a lot of cramping which is quite painful (keeling over stuff). I had it last night but then went to the toilet which seemed to relieve it and again this morning while I was sitting at my desk. It only last for a few minutes but I'm not sure if it is the baby/uterus doing its thing or if it's just gas. Whatever it is, its making me very anxious. Has anyone else had this?

Mellow totally normal - I have the same thing happen when I'm gassy. Feels different to period cramps and comes quite quick and sharp. Probably your uterus stretching a bit too. And baby nesting in good and strong.

Oh BC I was so hoping things would turn out differently today. My heart goes out to you, to lose a baby is the worst thing imaginable & after such a long road. I'm hoping that you get through this & the not to distant future is much brighter xxx

Oh BC, what a long and awful journey. Have been obsessively refreshing waiting for your news and so wish it was different for you. I sincerely hope that you are back here as soon as you're ready but in the meantime know that we are thinking of you loads.

Really wish there were more of us in here, there hasn't been a lot of cheerful news in the TTC 12 months+ group for a long time. How are you doing mellow? when's your early scan? How's everyone else doing? I'm finally feeling better, though after the second time I threw up this morning I figured it's probably too soon to stop my anti nausea tabs after all! At least the relentless nausea has passed now and I feel like a "normal" pregnant woman with only nausea when I'm tired or hungry. Have also had a couple of comments about how I have a belly now - which is actually due to the fact that I have crappy abs and need to wee! Sort of looking forward to having an actual bump instead of just looking bloated but also loving the fact that I can fit my clothes and don't have to worry about maternity stuff just yet. Hope everyone's going well, are you getting kitted out for baby stuff yet Mrs I? Walked into a baby factory other day, way too overwhelmed for choice. We have heaps of hand-me-downs but will need to buy a pram. Ow.

Hi AA. Glad you are starting to feel a bit better now. I'm doing really good although my nausea is just starting, but not too bad so far - just feeling a bit blah. Had my 3rd blood result today and they have risen to 23,000. DH is freaking out that there could be twins in there but I have reassured him that the level is quite normal. I guess it is possible though, but I'm not telling him that. I have my 8 week scan on the 16th July, can't wait. Do you know - is this a vaginal scan or over the tummy? I'm so used to the vaginal scans, I guess I'm assuming it will be that.
Another question - should I start ringing around midwives? I know I am still under FA until the 8 week mark but I also know how quickly the GOOD midwives get snapped up. What did you do? We talked about going with a private OB but to be honest, I kinda want to feel like a normal person going through a midwife rather than under another specialist. I don't really know where to start looking for a midwife though, but I have searched through a few forums looking for recommendations, so hopefully I can find a good one.
Anyway, hope you are all having a good day and I too wish there were more of us in here. There are so many couples, like us, struggling with fertility issues, I wish everyone could be on this side for a change.

Mellow - Good to hear from you, excited for your upcoming scan. Mine was on the tummy but couldn't get that good of a view so ended up vaginal as well. I organised my midwife once I got to the 12 week mark and to be honest they don't really need to see you before then anyway. I just looked through the internet and read the write ups they wrote and choose from there. Good luck

Hi Mellow. Probably depends a bit on what you do. My scan was at 7 weeks so definitely transvaginal, too small for abdominal scan. At that point I was discharged and told to find a midwife/obstetrician. I too wanted a midwife and for things to be as normal a possible. Met my midwife at 9 weeks, she gave me scan and blood forms but your GP can do that if you go there. Also, I am due on new year's day and there were quite a few midwives not available then. I got suggestions from friends (but was a bit tricky - told them it was for a colleague at work! But also looked at findyourmidwife (google it), which is a great resource. Good luck!

Thanks guys. I think I will wait until my 8 week scan and I have been cleared by FA before I seek a midwife. Probably getting a bit ahead of myself with all the excitement, but I know that it is still early days. I did come across that website AA and it is very helpful.
I had a quick read through my FA papers and it does look like it is a vaginal scan so all good - I'm very used to them.
Hope you are all having a good day.

Hi all. We're all a month ahead of where we were after the last post. Mrs I, you're nearly there! I'm heading towards half way and definitely bumping out (as well as bum and thighs and boobs!) Really hoping there are more who can join us in here soon. How are you all???

Wow Auntie, can't believe you are almost 19 weeks already. So cool, hope everything is going well. Can't believe I have less than 3 weeks left until my beautiful baby arrives
